My Cameron Black and Red tank is Here!

[flyv65]

Hey Bryan,

I'm wearing the new Cameron kilt to work today to break it in. Best I can manage is a natural white shirt, black kilt hose with flashes...think I need one of those Johnny Cash black shirts now.

I've got a great idea for selling those black Johnny Cash shirts, too: "buy a shirt, get a date with Reese Witherspoon!"

Friday, I'm headed up to your chilly state for a weekend of soaking in Orvis Hot Springs at Ridgeway. Planning to take some scenic pics with the new kilt on the trip. Think the black and red would look good with a snowy backdrop

Oooh, I *love* fishing the Uncompaghre below the reservoir, in the Pa-Co-Chu-Puk (sp?) campgrounds there in Ridgeway. There are some stunningly big fish in that 'lil tiny bit of water, and they'll hit year around pretty well-try a tungsten beadhead pheasant tail w/ a flashback in size 16.

Hoping the promised break between storms holds over Red Mountain Pass.

They're saying it's going to be in the 60's on the Front Range both days, but that the hills should start to get snow Sunday morning: you might want to think about getting over Red Mountain pass earlier rather than later. Of course, you could also go over Lizard Head Pass; it's a bit more "civilized" in terms of pants-wetting drop offs .

That's my old stomping grounds. Worked as an underground mine engineer's assistant in the Red Mountain Mine back in 1963 at age 18.
Lived down the hill in Ouray and got as drunk as a kid can on 3.2 beer.

Yeah, given a chance, I'd pull up stakes and head for that part of the state pretty happily. I've sipped a dram of the malt deep in the Weimenuche and under the stars more than once. Have you ever been in Ouray for the Ice Climbing competition? I hear it's a blast when those guys roll inot town.

Bryan...I think you'll need a good Aran sweater w/ your new kilt this weekend...
